The DDOS continues in some shapeshifting form. While someone appears to have turned off the bot farm in Vietnam the traffic continues from the US. Apologies to readers…

We will overcome. Thanks for your patience.

    I am concerned about Trump’s assault on elite universities.

    How will we meet the global governance demand for new Naked Emperors?

    Not only that …
    will there be enough sharks left in the oceans for new generations of NEs to jump?

    As we speak, non-binary US Democrats are forming committees to figure out how to talk to ‘men’ …
    as if there are such things.

    This alone could exhaust the last remaining population of sharks for jumping.

      Sorry for your troubles, Jo. On a lighter note this reminds me of a puzzling error message from a Microsoft product years ago — “Window will not fit”. But my favorite is from a 3D navigation program — “You cannot see this object because it is behind you.” AI should have some fun responses but I have yet to hear of any,

      Sorry about all the troubles, Jo.

      As they used to say in WW2, “If you’re catching flak, you know you’re over the target.”.

      It’s the Left that are always attempting to censor or put off-line pro-truth and pro-free-speech sites like this.

      The following is from a US essay on free speech. Note “liberal” in the US means Leftist, eeerrr, just as it now does in Australia come to think of it…

      https://lawliberty.org/the-lefts-reversal-on-free-speech/

      The left’s shifting attitudes towards free speech have become blatant in the last five years. From the widespread call for censoring covid dissenters to the repression of the Hunter Biden laptop story to the assault on conservative social media to the intensifying campaign for a dragnet censorship against “misinformation,” liberals have greatly narrowed the protections they believe speech deserves.

      Now, except when it comes to the speech of favored interest groups, the left no longer advocates a consistent defense of free speech. Indeed, the only way to mount a principled defense of speech is to defend the speech of those with whom one disagrees. To the left, censorship is no longer a speech issue. It has become a tool within their arsenal of political weaponry.

      Instances of leftist-inspired speech harassment span the spectrum of contemporary life. A pro-life position can subject you to FBI harassment. A skepticism on lockdowns or mandated vaccines can brand you as a social outcast. And an adherence to certain religious views can subject you to innumerable sanctions.

      Instead of a belief in truth, the progressive left promotes scientific and bureaucratic expertise. This advocacy of technocratic expertise flourished during the New Deal and continues to characterize the progressive left in the United States, as exemplified in the Covid lockdowns and the climate change debates. However, this reliance on expertise—rather than a belief in the broader concept of truth—renders the marketplace of ideas irrelevant, since the general population by definition does not possess a specialized scientific or technical expertise.

      With its loss of faith in truth or in principles of unity that transcend the divergent interest groups in society, the left possesses no message that can unify a diverse society.

      Even if the left still believes in truth, they may think it holds a monopoly on such truth and that its ideas are the only correct and enlightened ideas. And there is no need for a marketplace of ideas if one side already has a monopoly on truth. This attitude may explain the growing liberal intolerance for dissent—an intolerance that can even condone violence, as exemplified by the university professor who called for all men who did not vote for Kamala Harris to be lined up and shot.

    It was interesting watching the Lamestream Media report on Greta Thunberg’s provocative trip to Gaza into a declared prohibited war zone.

    They kept on describing the vessel she was on as a “ship” but a ship is normally accepted as having a mass of 500 tonnes or more and “a ship can carry a boat but a boat can’t carry a ship”. And there are other differences. She was on a boat. The lack of general knowledge of “journalists” is appalling.

    Anyway, now Thunberg has been arrested and fed, before the Israelis send her home they intend to show her the videos of the October 7th atrocities the terrorists she supports proudly took themselves and posted online and livestreamed.

    And she and her comrades had zero concern for the Israeli hostages taken and still held by the terrorists or the Oct 7th atrocities which started the war in the first place.

    Whether she’s shocked by those images or not will be a good test of her character, or lack thereof.

      Hi DM. I doubt the Doom Goblin will have any clue. To quote Thomas Sowell “Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.” And they don’t come much more useless.

      The boat, called the Madleen (12 person) is named “after Gaza’s first female fisherwoman“: [How do they know that?] is discussed and the full “crew” with country origin shown: Greta Thunberg Sails on Madleen Aid Ship to Gaza Where 66,000 Children Face Severe Malnutrition – Karmactive

      Seems like a promotional stunt to me.

      MSM referring to the small yacht as a ship is intentional, otherwise news recipients might wake up that the small yacht can only carry aid for very few people, mostly the crew. This exercise was only ever a publicity stunt!

      The spokespoppet must have a few arrest warrants on her record by now.
      The reason why the meeja called her boat a ship is mainly through ignorance but also to ‘big up’ the act of idiocy.

      The MSM has to stop calling her a “Climate Change Activist”, shes just a “professional” activist. You know, when you become a professional, you get paid to do what you do, like professional sports players, and then the oldest profession in the world. First it was climate change, then it’s Palestine, what’s the next new cause is she going to attach her name to?

    Video: Dr John Campbell discusses “neglected cancer treatments” with oncologist , Prof. Angus Dalgeish.

    https://youtu.be/ob4H5F5wAso

    Naltrexone at low doses (LDN) and its relevance to cancer therapy

    https://openaccess.sgu…​

    Naltrexone was designed to inhibit opioid receptors without activating them and hence used to block the stimulatory effects of morphine and heroin. It was noted that in certain patients being treated with naltrexone for an opioid addiction many reported significant secondary benefit when being weaned off naltrexone. This group of patients had chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions and reported improvements whilst using the lower dosages of naltrexone. There have also been recent anecdotal reports of cancer resolution following the use of low doses of naltrexone (LDN). However, the mechanism of action is unclear.

    Areas covered
    We review three mechanisms through which LDN can influence cancer progression; namely, (a) antagonism of receptors to which LDN binds, which include toll-like receptors 7–9 that lead to IL-6 suppression b) modulation of immune function in patients; and c) direct inhibition of signaling pathways involved in cancer cell control, including the priming of pro-apoptotic pathways.

    Expert opinion
    Considering the increase in the number of anecdotal reports of activity, there will likely be a bigger drive toward using LDN in the oncological setting. These reports support clinical trials of LDN in cancer, especially when given in combination with certain chemotherapy.

    Apart from her activities against science, reason and basic human decency, another worrying thing about Thunberg is that she’s seen as a role model by many young and indoctrinated children.

    Those children might think it’s acceptable to drop put of school and become an anti-intellectual, just like her.

    The difference will be, most other children won’t have stage managers and financial backers like Thunberg.

      The doom goblin is one cancellation away from obscurity.

      It only takes one misstep and her whole world becomes instant trash. It could be as simple as her being on the Epstein list, (not likely of course), or declaring that she sponsored Trump in his run for president.

      The outrage could end up driving kids back to school.

      Okay, that last bit was too far, but you get the drift. She’s a shop with one product.

        Such individuals are more sensitive to “atmospheric changes” than average person – pure survival mechanism, otherwise they would not exist.
        So, maybe the AGW shamans themselves started to notice EV fir, and Iberian blackouts, and Trump the Unstoppable, and, and,..

      It is a constant battle between politicians (aided and indoctrinated by Bureaucracy) and the public.
      One side wants to “be in control” and hates those who show up mistakes. The other wants less dictates about their life but only boil over if things get too hard.
      So the EU bureaucrats keep being in new rules until one of their member States suddenly votes in a less compliant government.
      The EU bureaucrats think the solution is to force the government to change. Lately they are getting more and more opposition which causes them to try more repression.
      Thus “right wing” parties gain more votes e.g. France, Germany, Austria, Poland, The Netherlands etc.
      It doesn’t help the EU when many of there policies are repressive and stupid.
      We can look forward to the EU being disbanded, or at least losing any power.
      The same applies to the UK where the “public service” wants desperately to rejoin the EU – indeed they almost got their way with Starmer.
      Starmer will go very shortly and possibly a new election.
      The same “we must have more control” runs rampent through Australia, esp. in Victoria. The incompetence and mistakes will last only as long as the money flows, and Australia is headed into a sharp depression. Externally our trade will suffer as China collapses and we have little thought anywhere about all but “we are the lucky country”. It took Argentina many decades to change their ideas.

        “It took Argentina many decades to change their ideas.”

        Yes, its a hard time for everyone until they finally reject the Left and regain some sense. It takes quite a few elections to even get a capitalist party and up and recognised before it can take over the mantle of of being Right. The words Liberal or Coalition are total poison this decade.

        I don’t think defunct bureaucracies ever die, they keep in sucking money and being useless, so the EU parliament will have to cede control to NATO, who will have their day in the money-pit and then some new super-bureaucracy is formed for some new hobgoblin. No-one will get fired and the costs will continue.

        I’m expecting a new Europe-wide climate-health organisation to be set up so failing politicians can retain some income, and that will involve thousands of bureaurats checking on each country’s energy system then telling them what to do in order to avoid another Spanish incident.

          I think democracy in Europe is healthy, looking at the recent Polish election where a right winger won.

          In Hungary we now see Orban supporting Ukraine against Russia, wonders will never cease. He knows that China will soon give up support for Russia and he is moving fast.

          So I disagree that democracy around the world is on life support, its a volatile system but as Churchill remarked, its better than autocracy.

    “Big Promises, Broken Bolts: Lion, Boeing, and Nikola”

    “However, the line between promise and results becomes blurred when reality sets in.

    Three recent examples started with such promise of the future, only to crash and burn in front of everybody.”

    “It doesn’t matter how good the marketing is; reality is stronger. Hope, fairy powder, and unicorn magic don’t create software, fabrication, logistics, or the whole business plan.

    John Wooden famously said, “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”

    Each company skipped the necessary steps and felt the wrath of reality. That wrath doesn’t just affect CEOs or shareholders; it’s the communities that bought into the promises. Towns prepared for large job opportunities and increased tax bases that never materialized.”

    I just heard, yet to be confirmed, that Hillel Fuld* who was banned at the last minute from coming to Australia to speak at a charity fund-raiser, due to what the Minister Tony Burke regards as unacceptable anti-terrorist political opinions, has also been banned from doing a video link at the same event he was to speak at. It’s not even clear if banning the video link is legally possible, even in One Party State Australia.

    “The New Pope, Same as the Old Pope”

    “When Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was recently elected as the new pope, and took the name Leo XIV, there was much speculation about his political views. His latest homily reveals much. The word “borders” appears 12 times. Here’s but one example:”

    “Here’s a thought: Please take the bold initiative to knock down all the walls around the Vatican and remove all security. After all, that’s analogous to what you’re insisting every country should do. You first.”

    Just saw this at News.com.. There does seem to be a strange reluctance to actually call crimes and violence as what they are. Reminiscent of the riots in Chicago where protestors were “mostly peaceful” while the backdrop showed burning buildings and rioting people.

    “‘He really said that’: Local news anchor’s gaffe

    Samuel Clench
    A local TV reporter’s assessment of the situation in Los Angeles, yesterday, has gone a teensy bit viral online, and not for the right reasons.

    Speaking over footage of cars burning in the city, the worker for ABC7, a local affiliate of America’s ABC News, offered this take.

    “It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way, and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun, watching cars burn, into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and police,” he said.

    Gonna editorialise for just a sec here: maybe don’t burn cars. And maybe don’t commit acts of vandalism in general. If you commit blatant crimes, law enforcement is going to have to do something. That’s how the law tends to work.”

      Yet when a bunch of angry people outside the Capitol Building, who were burning no cars nor looting any businesses, are practically INVITED inside before then being confronted, most of whom just strolled around the building taking selfies, THAT is apparently an “insurrection” requiring 10 year jail terms and ruined lives. In one case, the penalty for climbing through a window was a bullet in the head.

    Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

    “It can be recalled that the ‘unsafe and ineffective’ COVID-19 vaccine was formally added to the routine immunization schedule for both children and adolescents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday.

    It is common knowledge that COVID-19 poses no threat to young children, that mRNA vaccinations against the virus are not effective or safe and that some people have even died after receiving a COVID vaccine. But the CDC and its advisory council continue to push for childhood vaccinations despite all these facts.”
